SUBJECT: HAITI IN NO POSITION TO HELP IN IRAQ

REF: SECSTATE 54925

1. Haiti has no armed forces and suffers from a lack of
capacity in nearly every aspect of governance: thus it is not
in a position to contribute to the Iraq coalition. Since June
2004, Haiti has itself benefitted from the presence of a UN
peacekeeping mission.
